Man no longer attains to or toward. 
In the majesty of his High Choice he 
seats himself either on the throne of 
Power, or on the footstool of subjection. 

The mind of man must be trained 
to choose. Choice is the key to the 
freedom of the City of Life. Know ye 
how to choose.

The First Step in Mastery. 


The first step in mastery is re-educa- 
tional in nature. You are to enter into a 
new realm of living. You are to think in 
new channels. You are to exercise a new 
mode of mental motion. You are to use 
the fourth dimension of thought. Be 
prepared for the new and for the different. 
Be therefore a beginner and have the 
power of newness and the freshness of a 
beginner. An open mind is a requisite 
of progress. 

You certainly must realize that you are 
now thinking about fifty per cent dis¬ 
advantageous^ by old methods. You 
do not get where you wish with your 
thinking. By the use of ordinary and 
partly outgrown thinking methods you 
are not always actualizing power and 
vigor. You are not, probably sufficiently 
vitalizing your thoughts, but —There is a 
mental level of intensification of power 
and of vitalization of thought-energy 
which is perfectly easy to bring into ap¬ 
plication. It lies in directing the thought 
current along simple, definite and pur¬ 
poseful lines. 



THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


Only three things ordinarily prevent 
the application of this newer fourth 
dimensional power of thought. These are 
the persistent and erroneous ideas that in 
order to think efficiently and masterfully 
one must either exercise a mysterious 
mental gift, or a high spiritual function, 
or that one must labor or force their mind, 
that is, use force as such. 

There is no mystery about masterful 
thinking. 

In the realm of thought forcing things 
is impossible. There is always a right 
way, a best way to do a thing. The best 
way is always powerful and efficient, and 
it is always the easiest way. 

We are all born with the inherent gift 
of the Spirit. If we are not conscious 
of this ‘gift’, sincerity and our best effort 
will bring it. 

Another difficulty is a perverse tenacity 
to hold to methods which are habitual 
and to do things as other people do them 
and because others do. We are inclined 
not to give fair opportunity to a method 
which is unusual or new in our experience. 
Power thinking methods have always 
been taught, but they are still unusual to 

4 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


most people because most people are, 
themselves, merely usual. They, in spite 
of themselves, believe in the usualness of 
life. They are just ordinary people be¬ 
cause they are content with the common¬ 
place. One can not be an ordinary 
person and have extraordinary abilities at 
the same time. Be, therefore, content 
to do at least a little thinking each day by 
methods which preclude the ordinary. 
If you will do this you will succeed. 
Remember that it is not business itself 
that brings business success but it is right 
business methods. It is not merely think¬ 
ing that brings success in life but it is 
right thinking. The man who runs in 
circles gets nowhere, it makes no differ¬ 
ence how rapidly he runs nor how hard 
he works at it. 

You will, at first, be surprised to find 
that almost the entire methods of your 
daily thinking process are of no avail in 
power thought methods. For the pur¬ 
pose of emphasizing and making clear 
your reformation of thinking methods it 
is well to point out the things you are to 
turn from and not to use, those which 
are undesirable and of no advantage in 
power thinking. You will enter upon 

5 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


your re-education by the elimination of 
many things ordinarily usual to thinking. 

Power thinking is not dependent upon 
“an education” or world knowledge. 
Your knowledge of mathematics, of his¬ 
tory, or of geography will not necessarily 
help you in it. Power thinking has 
nothing to do with knowledge as such. 
It is a thing of wisdom. One can be wise 
though uneducated. The so-called edu¬ 
cated person is not necessarily of powerful 
thought. I am neither denying the value 
of education nor affirming its necessity. 
It is no part of power thinking. Please 
permit yourself to be newly taught in 
this matter. 

Reason, or logic the science of reason¬ 
ing, is not part of it. You can reason 
yourself out of power as well as in to it. 
The less you reason about power thinking 
until after you have accomplished it the 
more successful you will be. Reason is 
not the highest phase of thinking. If you 
think it is you think hastily and it would 
be well to answer this test question to 
yourself. Which would you rather live 
with, a person who would reason with you 
or one who would love you? You can¬ 
not reason with a child, a well woman or 

6 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


a sick man. You must learn that there 
are many forms of intelligence and that 
masterful thinking has its own defined 
province. Love is a phase of intelligence. 
Dynamic or power thinking is the ex¬ 
ercise of a distinct phase of intelligence. 
It is the exercise of thought toward the 
direct end of changing and improving 
conditions of life. 

Criticism forms no part of mastery. I 
am not asking for blind faith, but critic¬ 
ism is of no avail. Another form of 
thinking, including silent thinking, is 
argument. The weighing of pros and 
cons is not included. Masterful thinking 
is far more simple. Also it includes 
nothing of hurry or of worry. 

You have nothing to defend. You 
make no demands. It is not a matter 
either of affirmation or denial. Mastery 
is right in itself and is already with you 
in deeper mental levels therfore it can 
not be denied nor need anything be denied 
that may seem to be against it. Nor 
need the truth be affirmed. Affirming a 
thing does not make it so, neither would 
you need to affirm a truth you already 
possess. Affirmation too often measures 


7 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


one’s need and lack. The possessor pos¬ 
sesses. He has nothing to affirm. Truth 
stands alone. So does mastery. You 
are to learn to stand with truth and 
mastery and to allow these truths and 
mastery to act for you. The principle 
of Mastery needs no support from you. 
You are to accept its support. Be still. 
Everybody Can Think Masterfully. 

You will wish to know who can do this 
kind of thinking. 

You. Just you, and you just as you 
are. 

May I convince you? 

You will say “I must study first.” 
Permit me to say no; study is not neces¬ 
sary first. A child does not study walk¬ 
ing before it walks. It learns to walk by 
trying to walk. Even the educationalists 
will tell you that languages are best 
learned by speaking them. Mastery rests 
upon thought. The time to begin is 
immediately when the way of true think¬ 
ing is pointed out to you. Use it. 
Experiment with it. Do something with 
it. Reason, argue or criticize afterward 
if you must, but even then such methods 
will be of no avail. 


8 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


Mastery is simple, natural, normal, 
inherent. It is part of you. 

The unschooled can think masterfully 
and powerfully. 

So can the sick. Very probably you 
are surprised at this statement. Such 
is the persistency of doubt and of precon¬ 
ceptions and of hesitancy, and to be plain, 
mental slothfulness. Certainly healing, 
upwardness, in a word mastery, is with 
the sick else there would be no such 
thing as so-called natural recovery or 
spontaneous well-being. Yes, you can 
help another even if you are ill and 
doubtless have done so some time in 
the past. An ill and broken man could 
jump into a stream and save a perfectly 
well man from drowning, it is a matter 
of particular knowledge. Also you can 
help others and do it masterfully now 
provided you will commence to use simple 
and direct thinking as an exercise of 
thought. Good thinking is cultivatable 
by right mental exercise just as good 
muscles are cultivatable by right physical 
exercise. 

Again as to spirituality; please do not 
wait until you have reached a satisfactory 

9 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


degree of sainthood. Rather use the 
mastery which is with you now in order 
to reach it. 

Mastery is not a problem to be solved. 
There is no method or rote to learn. It 
is a special form of very simple tho power¬ 
ful intelligence to be easily exercised, but 
not dependent upon gifts, state or station. 
It is not the gift of a few. Few have it 
because few accept it. Like all talents 
it is cultivatable, but like no other talent 
it is attainable with ease and simplicity 
by ordinary people , no matter where they 
are on the path of life. 

If you will consent to revert, or even 
to try to revert to simplicity, and to start 
from the place of you, just you, even as 
you know yourself to be, then and only 
then you will find yourself really read}^. 

The Qualifications for Mastery 

are: 

1. Openness and willingness to ac¬ 
cept extraordinary beauties and powers 
(not extraordinary responsibilities). 

2. Simplicity in methods of thinking. 

3. Stillness and ease when doing, or 
endeavoring to do, thought-work. 


10 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


You have these qualities. Upon you 
are bestowed qualifications of your own 
success. If you will make use of these 
the soil of your mentality will be rich and 
ready for cultivation powerward. Man 
is not born berift, but, rather, endowed. 

The First Step in Mastery 

A master always deals with truth. 
A first true step in mastery holds good for 
all time. It is always a part of any 
other step. We begin to count with 
the number one and we never dispose of 
it. One is as necessary to the number 
ten thousand as it is to itself. 

The first mode of mental activity in mastery 
is choice 

Skill in Choosing 

Remember that the mental soil upon 
which to cultivate and exercise mastery 
is simplicity. 

Simply choose, and only choose. 

The form of simplicity to first learn to 
use with choice is directness. 

Exercise simple choice with directness. 

Anyone can choose simply and directly 
who will attempt to do so. Such are the 
qualifications of mastery in its beginning 

11 






THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


and in its usefulness. Can you choose 
with directness? Analyze your mind. 
Do you habitually demand, affirm, fuss, 
or fight for or reason about what you 
want? If you do you do not get what 
you want. It is not only sufficient, but 
it is the height of mastery to simply 
choose what you want. 

All argument which may be connected 
with choice is either superfluous, hinder¬ 
ing or destructive. Stop it. To love, 
desire, aspire, or to aim is' to choose. To 
choose simply and to do so as choice is 
to be masterful. 

Purity is singleness and purity is 
power. There is no confusion, inhar¬ 
mony or murkiness in singleness. Decide 
what you want and choose it. Choose 
one thing at a time and choose as often 
as you like, but be simple about it. 

How to Attain Mastery 

If you do not have the qualifications 
which you believe to be necessary to 
power and mastery, choose them. Choose 
silently and often. 

If you wish health mentally say “I 
choose health.” 


12 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


This directness of choice is the first 
and most important step in the meta¬ 
physics of success and attainment. 
While you are choosing health, you are 
not relating with the undesirable and you 
are actually thinking constructively. No 
master ever rises superior to simple 
choice. True work can not endure with¬ 
out it. Its mental exercise unfailingly 
brings results. 

All skill in the use of choice reduces 
itself largely to directness. Directness is 
a fundamental of power in any exercise 
of the common conscious activity. If 
you place two cheeses before a rat it will 
immediately choose the better of the two 
and the best spot in that better cheese. 
The rat does not wait for another life 
in which to have its good things. It is 
not troubled about “bad karma.” It 
does not eat its cheese to-morrow. It 
does not reason itself out of it. The rat, 
in common with most animals, has the 
now sense. It, though only a rat, knows 
time as every master knows it: Time 
is opportunity. It has the master sense 
of making direct and immediate use of 
its opportunity. Because of the rat’s 
exercise of this phase of the intelligence 

13 






THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


of mastery it was deified by the Egyp¬ 
tians. Opportunity is now. Conscious¬ 
ness is at hand. The conscious use of 
opportunity is to choose the thing desired 
immediately and directly. 

Your mind may here again divert to 
reasoning thus — “How does merely 
choosing a thing, or a power, or an 
ability, bring it to me?” In the first place 
you are questioning, not choosing. You 
are thinking ‘about’, not ‘to’. Perhaps 
you are thinking about thinking instead 
of actually thinking. You may never 
answer this ‘‘how” but can easily ex¬ 
perience the fact that what you choose 
you will have, and what you choose to be 
you will become provided you will exer¬ 
cise choice as such for it is the first law 
of nature. It is the fundamental law of 
mastery. All nature, seen and unseen, 
conspires to follow, obey and to repay 
simple choice. The ‘‘how ”, the work, 
the actual activities of producing the 
result of man’s choice is arcane and ever 
rests with Universal Intelligence. It is 
given man simply to choose. If he shall 
choose he shall have. Choice is the start¬ 
ing lever of the machinery of fate. Man 
can only labor and make hard work of 

14 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


his life because, subtly or otherwise, he 
chooses to do so. To rise above the 
meshes of doubt into straightforward 
choice is to come into freedom. The 
wise, man is content to choose and to 
receive. This is the secret of power. 
Darwin called this first law of life the 
Law of Selection. Selection is choice. 
Accepted science recogizes the law but 
it has not chosen to use it directly in 
consciousness. Science rests upon things 
rather than upon mental processes. Re¬ 
ligionists call choice aspiration and exer¬ 
cise it in prayer. It is their experience 
that prayers are answered. To aspire is 
to choose to be. We love, we hate, we 
select this, we ignore that; some things we 
see and hear, some things we neither see 
nor hear. It is all choice. 

The Psychology of Choice 
The common conscious or ordinary or 
objective part of the mind has but one 
positive faculty. We may speak of this 
faculty as the five senses. We may 
analyse it, we may subdivide it, but if we 
will consider it simply and in truth, 
seeking solution rather than confusion, 
we will see at once that the only positive 
conscious faculty is choice. 

15 


common 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


When you think “I choose’’ you think 
masterfully and to desired end. When 
you think merely about things you often 
do not really think at all. Your mind is 
empty and moves like an idling engine. 
No matter how deeply and sincerely you 
cogitate, you may not be thinking. You 
may be playing. You may be playing 
hard, but you are only playing at thinking 
unless you choose to desired end and ful¬ 
fillment. 

Note the beneficence, ease and direct¬ 
ness of this victorious science. If you 
lack or believe yourself to lack any 
particular quality you may obtain it by 
the simple exercise of choice. Every one 
can choose. Choice has in this funda¬ 
mental form often been called hope. 
All have it. It is co-existent with life. 

The essentials of life’s necessities have 
been stated as health, wealth and love. 
Taking this view if you wish health, 
wealth and love mentally (silently) say: 

“I choose health.’’ 

“I choose wealth.” 

”1 choose love.” 

”1 choose self confidence.” 


16 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


Be childlike (not childish) and power¬ 
ful enough in the doing of it not to reason 
about it, that is not to reason as any 
part of the exercise or of the practice. 
Reason should be classified and exercised 
elsewhere and otherwise. Let us do one 
thing at a time and do it well. It is 
choosing time. “I choose beauty, life, 
peace and power.” To summarize: 

Choice is the sole actual common 
conscious activity. 

Easy, simple, direct choice is powerful 
choice and since it brings about the 
desired end it is the fundamental of 
mastery. Man’s first thought was “I 
want” (choice). By it he has attained, 
by it he always will attain. 

Let us put this law into practice. 

The Fundamental Exercise of 
Mastery 

The fundamental exercise or practice 
on the path of mastery is choice. 

Bring the mind back to simple and 
direct choice as often as possible and 
whenever possible. Keep this practice 
before you when thinking. Revert to it 
as often as possible. Do not judge 
yourself or others. Do not condemn. 
Do not worry. 


17 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


The Rule of Positive Conscious 
Action 

is— Choose what you want instead of worry¬ 
ing about what you do not want. Choose 
that which you wish, or better choose 
that which you know that you should 
constructively have, that which is best 
for you according to your higher judge¬ 
ment. 

This simple practice of choice will 
change any life radically, fundamentally 
and constructively. Its results are quick 
certain and sure. Do not await set 
times or places. Choose as constantly 
and as often as possible. 

“Choose what ye shall have.” 

Do this as a definite practice and as 
a real work and you will be exercising 
power, dynamic or forceful thinking. 

This particular mental exercise con¬ 
sists of deliberately bringing the mind 
back to direct choice and only choice. 

Choice does not consist of choice plus 
something. Choosing is mentated thus 
—“I choose ”. One should school one¬ 
self in making honest effort to purify 
ones choice. If you cannot choose satis¬ 
factorily to you yourself make the best 

18 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


effort you can at choosing and let the 
matter rest there. The ability and the 
habit of direct choice will come if you 
will do the best you can each time. It 
is self instructing as it were. Make 
certain that the degree or amount of 
choice you make is actual choice. In 
mental dynamism singleness is power 
Do one thing at a time. It is choosing 
time. 

Do not make the mistake of worrying 
and fretting about choosing and calling 
such worry an act of choice. Be quiet. 
Be childlike. Good work, even of the 
most simple kind of matter what its 
nature, must be done in peace and de¬ 
liberation. You are doing important 
work, dynamic or forceful mental work 
when you choose. You are endevoring 
to learn to more skillfully use your 
thought-hands, as it were, that you may 
reach out toward and to that which you 
desire. You are learning to actually 
contact things in consciousness. You 
are actualizing one of your fundamental 
thought processes. Realization of ef¬ 
fects produced will result and convince 
you of the effectiveness of your silent 
work. 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


The most common criticism of the 
practice of choice is usually worded some¬ 
thing like this, “I have been choosing 
certain things for years and I have not 
received them.’’ Analyze this. What was 
your real attitude of mind? Did you 
definitely choose “certain things” or did 
you ruminate about it? Or did you say 
“What good does merely thinking do” 
and so render the whole process into a 
“merely”? Or did you mentate thus 
“I am afraid it will never be” and there¬ 
fore choose and bring fear, afraidness. 
Was your thought-act composed of four- 
tenths choice and six-tenths “not for 
me”? Or did you choose the thing so 
often chosen, i. e. time? Saying in some 
silent form or other “Time must, of 
course, intervene”? If you choose time 
you received time and perhaps plenty 
of it. You may be receiving it yet. 
Why not choose fulfilment. Isn’t it as 
easy, and as sensible, to mentally say 
fulfilment as it is to say impossible? If 
you are “poor me” your inadvertant 
choice makes you so. Choice is a law 
and law is the only thing that never 
varies. The trouble lies in not using 
choice simply and directly as such. It 

20 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


has been truly said that no one fails but 
that some persons succeed in failing. If 
you say “Choice does not work for me” 
you win—it won’t. Even your egotism 
in trying to depreciate yourself as one 
who is outside the law will in no way 
effect you. You are a master, you have 
but to choose, but can you and do you 
really choose, that is the question. 

One needs to disarm oneself from 
suspecting the laws of nature and of 
mind of ulterior motives. The effective¬ 
ness of thinking is not that of suspicion 
but of straightforward use. Examine 
yourself; are you capable of asking a 
direct question or of answering questions 
directly when conversing?—all children 
are. Test others by asking a direct 
question or two of the first eight or ten 
persons you meet and you will note that 
the majority of them will evade or re¬ 
question to a degree that is almost 
startling. They will say “Why do you 
ask’’ or “What are you going to do’’ or 
“You already know (or ought to)’’ but 
they will not answer, they prefer to parley 
or dodge. You might have something 
*up your sleeve . One who cannot ans¬ 
wer with directness cannot ask with 


21 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


directness. One who habitually suspects 
others habitually suspects natural and 
mental laws. Again I point out that 
suspecting is not choosing. Your thoughts 
are your tools, the instruments of your 
thought-work. A workman should look 
to himself and his methods as well as his 
tools. Only the coward lays his failure 
to other things and admits himself to be 
the subject of circumstances. A master 
makes use of things and proves their 
worth. So it is with thought mastery. 

The Curative Power of Choice 

The new science of psycho-analysis 
states that disease arises from repressed 
desires, that they are the result of ir¬ 
regular, crooked or complex choosing. 
Therefore disease is curable by simple and 
straightforward choosing! Silent direct¬ 
ness in thinking is real expression. Harm¬ 
ful repressions and complexes arise from 
the fear of non-fulfilment which is psy¬ 
chologically and actually the choice of 
non-fulment and the choice of fear and 
defeat. To acquire the practice and the 
habit of choosing with directness will 
cure such repressions and inhibitions and 
many character faults and diseases. The 


22 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


practice brings about strength of per¬ 
sonality and increase of self-confidence 
in a surprisingly short time while the 
limits of its action as an unseen power are 
unknown and unmeasurable, at least no 
one has ever measured them. Defeat can 
be measured but no man has ever meas¬ 
ured success. 

Observe that the act of choosing needs 
no premise. You do not have to know 
and then start from that knowing. You 
choose to know and you are rewarded 
by knowing. In thought method you are 
like a youth in morning time, ever young, 
ever new. You are. Your thoughts are. 
The morning time of opportunity is with 
you. The whole universe, seen and un¬ 
seen, conspires to serve you. You are 
master. You have but to choose. But 
will you do it or merely think about it, 
or doubt it and never know its value. 

Choice is will. Choosing you choose 
as a master, neither as a bully nor as a 
suppliant. The master way lies between 
these two extremes. 

When you speak over the telephone 
to the grocer you neither beg nor bluster. 
You tell him what you want. You do 


23 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


not argue with him as to whether he has 
the ability to serve you. You give him 
the credit of having that ability. You 
state your case and go about your busi¬ 
ness. The Universe ever seeks to serve. 
Give it like credit. Stand forth in con¬ 
sciousness and ‘speak the word’, say what 
you want and permit yourself to be 
served. Choice was not created and 
instilled in your mind as a fundamental 
and constant activity to be void of result. 
Mind was not made to be mocked. God 
never makes a mistake. The mind of man 
runs normally true to result. 

The masterful attitude is illustrated 
by the story of the over trained Lieu¬ 
tenant who was asked by his examining 
General how he would erect a certain 
tall flag-pole. The Lieutenant worked 
it out (and himself out) by mathematical 
calculation and some abracadaberic en¬ 
gineering formulation and presented his 
plan of ropes, pulleys, stresses and struts, 
upon which the General said “Do you 
know how I would raise that flag-pole? 
I would say to the sargent “Sargent, get 
that pole up’’. That is the act of a 
General. 


24 




THE FIRST STEP IN MASTERY 


You are the master of your life, the 
captain of your destiny, the witch or the 
wizard of your fate. It is for you to 
choose. 

As for the Higher Law, God being 
Love how can He serve you to whom He 
has given Freedom and Mastery unless 
you choose. 

‘The journey of a thousand miles be¬ 
gins with a single step’ and is completed 
one step at a time. Choice is decision, an 
exercise of the will. It is the first 
positive step in real life.
